Bowling Ball Head & Factoids
My bowling ball (feeling) head has turned into a snot making machine. A wheezing, chortling, haucking specimen....that I am. I have one of my every-leap-year bouts with the cold, otherwise known as Snot City. Obviously, the cause is twinfold - sick co-workers coupled with roaring jet lag (oh, and 2 weeks of 1-2 hours per night less than usual in the sleep department). All things considered, yep, that would do it.
Because I tend to have a 'nervous' constitution, my status of being sick usually entails a half day of rollicking GI distress. Having a full blown Robitussin/NyQuil moment is practically a novelty in my boring life. I'd enjoy the hell out of it if I didn't feel so.... CLOGGED. *sniffle*
Because of this condition I have actually sought out some alternative types of self medication. Substances, you say? Sure, but it depends on your definition of substance. Mango salad? Kitchari? Food intended to nurture and balance? Sheesh, I must be losing my clarity of mind and rational faculties already.
Enough joshing already, I do admit that I am a bit of a nutrition factoid junkie. It is interesting to me to read about what food does once it is inside, gurgling away in there. How it might be possible that what I ate at my last meal could influence how I digest the next, or how soon I get hungry, or what I FEEL in those several hours after eating. Sites about food and health, the connection between superfood and superhealth, writing about micronutrients and macronutrients, studies in medical journals, every little bit of it I love to absorb. But like food, the more I absorb, the possibly rises that factoids will start to duke it out inside. Superfoods, ayurveda, high-veggie/high-fat, Mediterranean, French, macrobiotics, full-out hedonism on par with Orangette: may the best set of theories win!
